20 year table

I love the -5 goal difference. So many big numbers then that.

Depressing - I remember boasting we'd accumulated most points in the top division historically speaking.

Claiming to be uncrowned kings of english football was a shoe-in.

YOU SEE WHY US AUL' ARSES GET PISSED OFF FFS!!!

I love throwing around these statistics like we have played more games than anyone else in the top division, 384 more than Arsenal or Liverpool etc.

The one my kids love using is that we have held the League Championship longer than any other club, equal to Manchester United - for 19 years - everyone is amazed by that statistic. It's only true because we held the League Championship over both world wars, always raises a smile.

Joking apart we have such a rich heritage with periods of great success. We rightly should promote ourselves as one of the big clubs in English football, our list of achievements and firsts are immense - I think one of the great positives of the Moyes era is how we have promoted our heritage, how our players in particular really buy into it, Donovan, Cahill, Neville all being great examples.

We're still the ones to have lost the most games, mind.

Is that the one where old games have been adjusted to award three points for a win instead of two?
